Forget the Work and Get Outside?

I’m slugging through the winter break, trying to push ahead into my next term of teaching and attempting to ensure I’m ready. I’m not.

I’m also in the middle of a contract editing a test bank. Yes, that’s a bank of test answers. It’s very dry work. I’m not sure what I was expecting but. Wow. So dry.

So it may not make much sense, but I’ve been blowing off work and heading into the mountains to pursue a hobby I’ve wanted to try for years: snowshoeing.

Snowshoeing is AMAZING. It’s like skiing or snowboarding in that you’re outside, in the fresh air and mountains. But it’s also way easier to do, which is great because alas I am not very coordinated.

Now when I’m not outside, I’m dreaming about being outside. I think this is a very ‘tourism nerd’ dilemma – to have our day jobs (which are generally very awesome in and of themselves) and yet to be pulled to get out there and enjoy. I preach and teach about #exploreBC, so shouldn’t I be out there doing it?

Alright. Back to the grind. This test bank will not edit itself. (Unless … no. It won’t). I’ll try to remember that contract work like this helps pay for my adventures.
